Atlanta Democratic Socialists open first independent office in Little Five Points

The Atlanta chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America has opened its first independent permanent office in Little Five Points. The DSA said the office launched Saturday, Aug. 8, at the Little Five Points Community Center, according to a post on the organization’s social media accounts. The chapter plans to use the space for political education, labor organizing, grassroots campaigns, and membership development. The location was dedicated as the Milt Tambor Organizing Center, named in memory of the chapter’s founder. Tambor served as chapter chair from 2006 to 2017 and, per Atlanta DSA, was a union member, educator, and organizer. The organization said the office is a major milestone after years of growth and is accepting donations for furniture, appliances, and other supplies.
